it has snowed. it felt like a lifetime and lots of snow had melted, but finally we have some great powder, and i’ve had to great days of riding!

so i’m getting a bit sick of work. it’s probably mostly because everybody else moans a lot, and this bring the general vibe toward a negative feeling. but also my boss is being a real idiot. his girlfriend asked if i wanted to ski one day, sent me her number so i texted her once, and now he’s freaking out thinking i’m after his girlfriend, which is so far from the truth, but he ought to grow up, and be less insecure about his life. he just fired one employee yesterday, another handed in written notice, and if he doesn’t sort himself out, i may as well do the same, and then for the busy easter period, they’ll be quite short staffed, which will suck for the other employees, who will have to work so much harder. it’s a shame for everybody that he’s such an incompetent lazy manager.

i’ll miss the snow, but tomorrow i’m off to greece, analya, to get my tooths fixed. it’s so much less expensive to travel to places liek bulgaria, hungary, greece, and having looked online at reputable, reviewed dentists, i chose greece, being that i have never been there. so i’m trading in snow for the beach. i know i’ll miss verbier. but i really need to escape for a bit, some time to chill and relax. otherwise i’ll probably have to wait until july, so i may as well work this out and make the most of it. i imagine some slight discomfort and excruciating pain when getting this implant!

looking forward to the end of the season, the parties, the sun, the snowpark and alan and anne coming to visit, bring it onnnnnn!

finally after 2 weeks of very little snow and lots of sun, it seemed like all of the snow would soon be gone, and as i speak it is snowing now yay for a powder day!

with christian here and beautiful sunny days, i’ve been out partying so much, so now i need rest. i feel a bit shitty, and need less booze for a while. i want to get soem snowboarding done, and that’s difficult when hangin!

today’s skiing just about killed me, after one sketchy run i could barely hold a bottle to drink from.

well anyway, yesterday was the verbier extreme competition and the finals for the world freeride championship. it was a lovely sunny day and loads of people were perched up on mont fort to watch the action. i don’t think i can imagine how to describe how extreme it is, so watch the video:

so i’m quitre excited about thsi year. we are only 1/4 done and it’s been crazy, i expect it is going to be crazier yet!!!

i just watched the best f&*)ing film ever. Doomsday. it’s like a cross between 28 days/weeks later, braveheart, waterworld, and mad max. it’s almost all set in scotland, some in london. and it is cheesey as hell, and great fun!!!!

come on look, at the end a mad max style chase with a bentley!

watch it!!!!

so i’m back in verbier and it is sunny and warm and is lovely!

mayrhofen was great, but i had enough of the crazy germans who can’t ski, and the apres ski music, though i did buy the cd for a laugh.

ian’s bro is here from new jesey for a week, so time to party again :s

oh and my stitches are out and my mouth is looking much better. i’m still a bit swollen. but time to see the dentist tuesday, and i want a new tooth!!!! any thoughts on a gold tooth?

i’m ready for summer now!

off to ride, so ciao

heys,

so i’m in mayrhofen, dad al and john went to sleep, and i came back to saiko and pretty much everybody is asleep. i will be soon!

i had a lovely time in innsbruck. anna was very lovely to stay with, and she showed me the town. i got a little drunk off 4 drinks, but put that down to not eating for 4 days. i like the town, people, and especially that they are right below some ski resorts!!

it’s also odd to e in mayrhofen again. i like this place. of all of the resorts that i’ve visited in the past 5 years. only verbier and here have caught my attention as places that have a lot to offer day and night!

i’m staying in a guesthouse, well more of a cheap dutch snowboard refuge. it’s cool. so it’s been snowing and sunny here. today i skiied a load of off piste and my legs certainly aren’t used to it, but i’m still one of the only ones awake. however, i’m not setting my alwarm. it’ll be nice to have a lay in, if the other guys in my dorm don; wake me up!

yeh so my mouth is so so, i eat solid food, but not bread. i have to break up the bread into small bits, as i can’t bit things up, just chew! so friday evening i’m back in verbier to have the stitches out. and i can’t wait to be fixed. i want to be able to smile, eat and talk normally!!!!!!!!

and if you haven’t seen, i’ve uplaoded loads of photos from the season to my facebook account!

today i was super excited to ride the big powder, and had an ace day until…..

yeh so i tried to ride a tree like a rainbow rail. i got half way, lost momentum and slipped off. i tried to protect my face, but obviously that didn’t work too well! my tooth came out, and went straight through my lip. i still have my tooth being that i had to pull it out of the front of my lip!

so i rode down with a mate to the car. drove myself back to verbier and went to the doctors.

the doctor had to do 13 stitches. he even found a piece of tree inside my lip. i have both that an dmy tooth as souvenirs!

no work tonight, doctor’s orders. my boss is totally squeemish and kicked me out of the restaurant upion seeing it.

so i’m going to look beautiful for a while! and the cost of a new tooth is going to be huge, so better get onto the insurance!

not bad timing, as off on vacation for a few days, so can chill and heal a bit.

it’s super sunny here right now. it’s strange that the weather forecast is for 30+cm of snow today and heavy snow all week, when it’s sun bathing weather!!!

i’ve just been to geneva this morning. some guys paid me nicely to give them a lift to the airport, so can’t complain. just going to be tired for work tonight.

4 days of work and off to austria!! can’t wait. i love going places, even if i have been there before. mayrhofen is a great place,a nd will be cool to hang with dad.

i’m also spending saturday night in innsbruck with somebody on couchsurfing, so could be cool!
